This program opens files in progression (file00001, file00002 etc),
upto MAX_NUM_FILES and checks their CRC. If a file is not found or the
CRC does not match it stops it's operation.
Everything is logged in a logfile called './logfile'.
If everything is ok this program sends a signal, via com1, to the remote
power control box to power cycle this computer.
This program then proceeds to create new files file0....file<MAX_NUM_FILES>
in a endless loop and checksum each before closing them.
STRUCTURE OF THE FILES:
The fist int is the size of the file in bytes.
The last 2 bytes are the CRC for the entire file.
There is random data in between.
The files are opened in the current dir.

Revision 1.8 2005/11/07 11:15:17 gleixner
[MTD / JFFS2] Clean up trailing white spaces
Revision 1.7 2001/06/21 23:04:17 dwmw2
Initial import to MTD CVS
Revision 1.6 2001/06/08 22:26:05 vipin
Split the modbus comm part of the program (that sends the ok to pwr me down
message) into another file "comm.c"
Revision 1.5 2001/06/08 21:29:56 vipin
fixed small issue with write() checking for < 0 instead of < (bytes to be written).
Now it does the latter (as it should).
Revision 1.4 2001/05/11 22:29:40 vipin
Added a test to check and err out if the first int in file (which tells us
how many bytes there are in the file) is zero. This will prevent a corrupt
file with zero's in it from passing the crc test.
Revision 1.3 2001/05/11 21:33:54 vipin
Changed to use write() rather than fwrite() when creating new file. Additionally,
and more important, it now does a single write() for the entire data. This will
enable us to use this program to test for power fail *data* reliability when
writing over an existing file, specially on powr fail "safe" file systems as
jffs/jffs2. Also added a new cmdline parameter "-e" that specifies the max # of
errors that can be tolerated. This should be set to ZERO to test for the above,
as old data should be reliabily maintained if the newer write never "took" before
power failed. If the write did succeed, then the newer data will have its own
CRC in place when it gets checked => hence no error. In theory at least!
Revision 1.2 2001/05/11 19:27:33 vipin
Added cmd line args to change serial port, and specify max size of
random files created. Some cleanup. Added -Wall to Makefile.
Revision 1.1 2001/05/11 16:06:28 vipin
Importing checkfs (the power fail test program) into CVS. This was
originally done for NEWS. NEWS had a lot of version, this is
based off the last one done for NEWS. The "makefiles" program
is run once initially to create the files in the current dir.
"checkfs" is then run on every powerup to check consistancy
of the files. See checkfs.c for more details.
